Streets Of London - George Hamilton IV
Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
Have you seen the old girl
Walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time to talkin'
She just keeps right on walkin'
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
How can you tell me you're lonely
Save you sun don't shine
Let me take by the hand
Lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
Make you change your mind
In the all night cafe at
A quarter past eleven
Same old man sittin' there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea last one an hour and he wanders home alone
Have you seen the old man at the London
Seaman's mission
Memo'y fading with medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city the snow cries so a little pity
One more forgotten
Hero and the world doesn't care
How can you tell me
You're lonely
Save you the sun don't shine
Let me take by the hand
Lead through the streets of London
I'll show you something make you change your mind
Let me show you something
I hope you change your mind
